16.5 Training advice: -
16.6 Further information: According to the guidance version 2.0 for monomers and polymers from the European Chemicals Agency
dated as of April 2012, the classification of the polymer takes into account the classification of all its constituents, such as unreacted
monomers. These constituents in fact should be taken into account for classification of the polymer. This means that the same
classification methods as for mixture should be applied to polymer substances.
In order to determine a classification for the studies about the water soluble fraction as well as the absorption should be performed on
the polymer as such.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, the information contained herein is accurate and obtained from sources believed to be reliable. No representation is made that
the information is complete or the material is suitable for all purposes. The final determination as to the suitability of the user’s intended use of the material is the sole
responsibility of the user. All materials may present unknown hazards even when used in common applications and accordingly, it is the sole responsibility of the user
to understand and address all potential hazards, including those identified herein. The information set forth in Sections 11 and 12 reflects data available as of the date
hereof. It is anticipated that such data will be updated.
